3k terror assualt

[LtDan]

Finally getting my nightlords back off the ground after being put on hold for over a year. I'm running terror assualt(surprise, surprise)I don't really want any armour in my list if I can help it. With the exception of the javelins as there cool and fast moving.

All squads are in standard pods for now. Maybe sort some dreadclaws out in near future.

Plan is for a all comers list. Nice and fluffy but still don't want to get stomped. Don't want token leviathan in the list that everyone seems to run. Any advise where to improve etc would be great. I my add a apothecary to the raptors that that will be with the preator and curze. Cheers

Jump pack preator(mc paragon blade, mb, digi laser)

10 raptors(2 power axes, 4 glaives, 4 pairs lightning claws)

I’d play around with normal Assault Marines instead of Raptors to see what the points difference gets you (a larger squad, more Javelins, or lots of Melta Bombs – I think you’ll need Melta Bombs).  If you stick with the Raptors, no problem, but make sure you’ve seen what your options look like first. 

 

The Jetbikes make more sense with a Volkite Culverin, otherwise the two with Heavy Bolters are going to waste and they’re too expensive for that.  But you already have anti-infantry well covered, so I’d either try to squeeze in the Heavy Support Jetbikes (all Multi-Meltas) or take more Javelins.  A pity Attack Bikes don’t fit the Deep Strike nature of the list, they’re a relatively durable source of affordable Multi-Meltas.

The jetbikes are all mms bud. I always get hunters/slayers confused.

 

I'll have a look at normal assualt marines but think raptors make a better bodyguard to curze.

 

Thanks

Raptors are definitely the coolest choice even though Assaults may overperform them so go for Raptors.

The ws5 also helps hitting as well.

I'd go for Assault marines and put the points saved into something else.

 

Your Raptor unit will take casualties on its way in so having all those special weapons will drain points.

 

You might even be able to afford a second cheap Assault squad or a Tactical squad to defend home objectives after adjusting a few things.
